Default summit or earl's?

so i decided to scrap the drag kit turbo drain line and make my own. so i went to summit racing and was putting together the parts i wanted:
2x -10 an male to 1/2" npt male fittings(i just got a new moroso oil pan)
2x -10 45* hose end/-10 female fitting
3ft. of -10 an braided hose

so i went with the earl's black anodized fittings and black nylon braided hose(cause it looked cool ) and it came out to $94.
i tried again but using the summit racing black anodized fittings and stainless braided hose and it was $56.
now is the earl's stuff that much better or will the summit racing stuff work fine for the drain line? i dont mind paying extra for the good stuff, but only when its worth it.
thanks in advance!

you can "swivel" an end and positionis right where u need it and lock it down.
the swivels that you see in that picture really help when you need some give on the line...
but when a turbo is mounted , it shouldn't move differently from the pan
